TheWhatSupreme aka El Saracen

Bio:

The What Supreme is a product of non-substance induced elevation through a haze of heightened awareness of spirit and soul vs flesh and matter. I rap & I produce. Please come to a show sometime. We rock it and smack that. The What Supreme & Sensei C is HLI. Salaam/Peace/Shalom. Many dues to the God, the mother, the brother, the teachers & brethren, and the purpose: the one with whom to spend my life with ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- APOCALYPSE, PARTIES & POLITICS! Wasif Sayyed a.k.a. The What Supreme is slowly making his mark on the re-emerging Birmingham hip-hop scene. As well as writing, recording and performing, he continues to promote numerous local acts and up-and-coming UK hip-hop innovators. He’s also done rap coaching in schools and community centres in Birmingham and around the UK. The What Supreme is first and foremost a rap vocalist. His vocal style is visceral and ethereal; listening to him in full flow I see a ragged company of wolves stampeding towards a man-cub not to kill it but to raise it as one of their own. His vocabulary is deep-fried in a vat of dictionaries. His subject matter is constantly expanding, but the themes of earnest concern for the hip-hop generation, the strive towards spiritual wholeness, family affairs, apocalyptic visions and political dissidence tend to be woven into most of his music. There’s a childlike giddy love for the art-form too, which often bubbles to the surface. The What Supreme is a confident hip-hop producer as well. What many people wish to hear is a happy marriage of analogue and digital, gentle melodies and neck muscle effecting sub-bass, rhythmic subtlety and unkempt rambunctious noise, in essence: very approachable experiments. More often than not The What Supreme’s compositions are just this. 80’s wide-eyed wonder, 90’s guile and 00’s natural intertwining of the conscious and the playful. The What Supreme exhibits elements of all 3 decades and in doing so is solidifying a distinct style and philosophy of rap and beat-making. His material beckons his peers and listeners: I’m beating a fresh path here, join the party. Your results:
